I downloaded handbrake and vlc and seemed to load up the movie onto my harddrive ok (took around 24 hoursm which I understand is not that crazy). I tried to move it into itunes (it's a m4v file) but that didn't work. Then I saw on Handbrake that I needed to encode it. Ok, fine, but it says it will take 170 hours. That can't possibly be right.

But when I tried a small sample, it actually moved into itunes and played. Does this mean I really need to wait 6 DAYS to get this movie into an acceptable format for itunes? That's just crazy.

I tried just changing the file extension to mp4 but that didn't work either. Any ideas?
